Brigdestones Rule OK?

[Harry Lime]

Finally got around to fitting and riding on the Bridgestones, replacing the ghastly Sportecs. All my handling joy has returned. The bike is quiet - no deafening hum from the front wheel, steering is beautifully neutral again, bike feels unshakeable in fast sweepers. Never darken my rims again, Metzeler.

What did you get? 010s or 020s?

Now, that's interesting!! I was wondering about the noise coming from the front. It starts around 30 and I suppose the wind noise drowns it out over 40.

I thought it may have been a wheel bearing. Even asked S*C to check it out. They took it for a test ride and also heard the noise but didn't think it was anything to worry about.

Are Sportecs renowned for being noisy?
